Paper & paper making, ancient and modern

"Paper & Paper Making, Ancient and Modern" by Richard Herring is a historical exploration from the 1800's into the world of paper creation. It shows how paper-making started, what it was like back then, and how it changed over time into what it is now. The book talks about the stuff used to make paper and the ways it was made, both a long time ago and in more recent times. It also points out how crucial paper has been for people to talk to each other and keep track of things throughout the years. This book began as talks given in London and is an expression of thanks to different groups and people who helped the author learn about paper-making and the impact on how we communicate and preserve our history.
